Article Abstract:

The reasons for starting smoking and smoking prevention programs, perceived as effective by African American and Latino students in the seventh grade, are similar to those for White students of the same age. However, smoking onset patterns, program modality utilization and psychosocial predictors for smoking are different in different cultural groups. This indicates that smoking prevention programs for minority groups should include culturally and linguistically relevant features.
